My dear Mr. Attorney General:
The Italian Embassy has been Informed that the Italian citizens recently arrested throughout the United States on grounds of violation of the immigration laws (most of them former employees of the Italian Pavilion at the New York World's Fair) will be transferred to Fort Missoula, Montana. In this connection the Italian Embassy states that the officers of the crews of the Italian merchant vessels who are detained at Fort Missoula have asked if it were possible to keep the seamen apart from the others in the interest of the maintenance of discipline among their respective crews.
The Italian Embassy has asked that this matter be brought to the attention of the appropriate officials to consider whether anything might be done to this end.
Sincerely yours,
The Honorable
of State :
Robert H. Jackson,
Breckinridge Long Assistant Secretary
Attorney General.
